Goddamnit. Read this:

It's not easy to put a metric on: How does he instill confidence? How does he let a pitcher relax so they can focus on executing a pitch, rather than thinking about what pitch they should be throwing? You know, those things don't get measured.

Our pitching coach said this. It actually is fucking easy to put a metric on it: the pitchers’ fucking performance? Who gives a flying fucking shit how “relaxed” or “focused” the pitchers are if the production doesn’t improve? If it mattered, it would be evident and measurable. For fuck sake. Why does anybody give any credence whatsoever to this fucking jet stream of bullshit?

When someone talks about “things that don’t get measured,” they’re generally full of fucking shit and making stuff up. Do you believe in magic and the goddamned tooth fairy too?

Don't worry guys - we are significantly worse offensively and defensively with Maldy, but the pitchers are relaxed (while also giving up more runs).

"Thanks for eating the shitburger, yesterday.  Here's another one."  

Ford asked Sparks early in the outing  “what goes through bielak’s mind in a game like this?”

”honestly, I’m thinking about going back to AAA after this.” And went on to elaborate, but yeah, that sucks.

I was hesitant to include the pitching coaches in the "get the fuck out of here" group, but after that article, yeah fuck those guys as well. Entire organizational reboot under Brown.

Remember when we used to be a smart organization? You know - one that won a lot? That was cool.

Blum: "Altuve gets first hit of game"
Kalas literally 2 secs later: "Altuve reaches on Detroit 3rd error of the inning. Oh actually they are giving Altuve a hit on that play"

I hope Blum is in the booth just pulling this:

Rogers is the last player left from the JV trade. Astros won that trade
